Go Vikes!

B was nice enough to babysit all day on Monday since we didn't have daycare. She brought her jersey and stayed for the Vikes vs. Packers game. Madi really got into the clapping and shouting that was going on at the house! She had no idea why everyone was doing it but joined in!

Kiss the Cook!

Madi is so much into pretend play right now. I saw this cheap, little pretend kitchen with food, plates and tiny stove and had to get it. She loves cooking and feeding her babies!

Cheese! I love my kitchen, Mama!

Sometimes you have to sit in the big chair to better feed a little baby. Sorry for the sideways pic. It won't flip for me.

Now let's try the high chair for baby. That was Mama's toy when she was little.

Mmmm...ketchup does a body good
Cookin' up some bacon and eggs.

Sitting at the table for some bacon and eggs fresh out of the pan. Too bad she'll eat neither in "real life." Maybe the plastic kind tastes better.

Sandbox Kid

Curt built a sandbox for Madi this summer. She goes in occasionally to dig and make a mess!

Sorry no pictures but It's been an interesting day

This is what happens when you've been working LONG hours and using really stinky Gorilla Glue all day:
1. Inhibitions are slightly less...making you more at ease in a meeting with 3 of your superiors. You think about telling a story that has a little too much information but decide not to. Okay, not a bad thing.
2. Get home and hug & kiss the bajeezes out of your daughter. Well not really a bad thing but think of all the H1N1 flu that I could be exposed to at the office.
3. Bring daughter to potty before running the bathwater. Daughter doesn't potty this time and you let her stand naked while you run the water (knowing in the back of your mind that it's not a good idea).
4. Daughter pees on the floor.
5. Clean it up without putting her back on the potty (again knowing in the back of your mind that it's not a good idea). .
6. Daughter pees on the floor...again.
7. Put her in the tub and clean up the rest of the pee - she can't have any more in her right?
8. While struggling to rinse shampoo out of daughter's hair, she slips in the tub. A few tears ensue but no big deal.
9. Sense that tonight hasn't been going well and VERY carefully take her wet, slippery body out of the tub.
10. While lotioning daughter, give her some lotion to smear on herself to make her stop fussing.
11. Ask husband to call poison control because she ate the lotion.
12. Husband dials 1-800-POISON and instead gets a porn line.
13. Husband dials his sister instead to get the Poison Control number.
14. Poison Control assures us she'll be fine. The warning to "call poison control immediately" on the bottle is basically there for legal reasons.
15. Sigh
16. Read bedtime stories, a few rounds of "Where is Thumbkin", and put daughter to bed.
17. Worry that this is an omen of things to come. Maybe I'll come down with malaria in the middle of the night due to the recent hatching of 10 million mosquitos in back yard.

How was your evening?

I wanna be a supermodel



Weird photo of the day

I think she's in the garage and my mom was blowing bubbles at her when she took this picture.

Little Miss Pronto Pup



I went to the State Fair on Thursday and brought back a souvenier for Madeline. It was a hat from the Pronto Pup stand (What's a Pronto Pup? It's only the best State Fair treat ever invented). I think these pictures are hilarious of her minding her business while wearing the Pronto Pup hat!
